So many ways to look so good. IWC + Santoni straps and accessories.

Over the years we've built a beautiful friendship with Santoni. It began simply back in 2011, with the relaunch of the timeless and elegant Portofino line, including thePortofino Hand-Wound Eight Days (Ref. 5101), the first IWC watch to be offered with a Santoni strap in three handsome, if subdued shades. The relationship quickly blossomed into a multi-color affair with the introduction of the mid-size models of the Portofino collection in 2014, and further in the updated Da Vinci collection of 2017. Today there are over 70 luxury watches for ladies and men that feature Santoni straps in a wide variety of colors, including lilac, orange, red, grey, bronze, olive, burgundy, blue, and raspberry pink. There's truly something for every mood, outfit, and outing.

And today, all of us at IWC are pleased to announce the next step in our partnership with Santoni – a line of luxurious accessories designed to mix and match with the straps already on offer. Now any look or outfit can be completed with this exclusive collection which includes bracelets, belts, a wallet, a clutch, and a card holder. Each piece is carefully handcrafted, painted, and uniquely finished by the dedicated artisans at Santoni.
